JET. 35.] LIVERPOOL. 51 



sation for the great damage lie has sustained by going 

 to Liverpool. Believe me ever most sincerely yours, 



" H. BROUGHAM." 



While at Brougham I received a letter from Mr 

 Koscoe, from which the following is an extract : 



"LIVERPOOL, September 21, 1812. 



"MY DEAR SIR, Yesterday we 



had a meeting of between twenty and thirty of your 

 friends, at which Lord Sefton was present. It was 

 finally resolved to propose you and Creevey, as well 

 in the expectation of putting in two members as for 

 furthering your interest in case one only should be 

 carried. As soon as the dissolution is announced you 

 will receive a formal, and, I doubt not, you will think 

 a respectable, invitation. 



" We also resolved to call a public meeting for to- 

 day, by advertisement, at the great room at the Golden 

 Lion, from which I am just returned. I went at ten 

 minutes after twelve the hour appointed and found 

 the room quite full, certainly not much less than one 

 thousand persons. Being called to the chair, I stated 

 the determination of your friends to name you and Mr 

 Creevey. This was received with the highest applause. 

 I put you both to the show of hands, which was unani- 

 mous, and requested them to confirm it by three times 

 three, which was vociferated in grand style. J. B. 

 Yates, Martin, and Eichardson addressed the meeting, 

 which separated in the highest good-humour, with a few 

 words from me to show themselves as ready to make 

 their appearance at the hustings as they had been 

 ready to come forward at the meeting.
